Lincoln Electric Provides New UltraCore® Stainless Flux-Cored Wires

Gas-shielded wires provide improved weldability and upgraded packaging

Cleveland


Sheena Suvak, senior product manager, alloys, Lincoln Electric stated, “Flux-cored wires can provide great deposition at high wire feed speeds; given the nature of welding stainless, we knew ease of use was imperative. The new UltraCore flux-cored stainless wires have a smooth arc characteristic that produces minimal spatter. Our fast freezing slag design creates an easier out-of-position welding experience.”

Designed with the welder in mind, UltraCore stainless steel wires deliver improved weldability characteristics, including:

  • Easier out-of-position welding
  • Smooth arc with minimal spatter
    • Polished weld bead appearance
    • Reduces post-weld cleaning
  • Wide operating range

The upgraded packaging includes the following:

  • Precision layer wound
    • Steady spool payoff
    • Consistent wire feeding
  • Vacuum-sealed foil bag
    • Moisture-resistant package
  • New larger 33 lb spool package size
    • Less changeover
    • More arc time

Testing indicates UltraCore wires exhibit significantly greater arc stability over the length of the weld. The weld beads have less discoloration compared to the competition.
